United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland (Press Release) May 8, 2008 --
MINNEAPOLIS (March 16, 2008) - Pre-heat the oven, bring out your favorite Bundt® pan and put that frosting away! Nordic Ware – maker of the iconic pan – is hosting its third-annual national recipe contest inviting bakers to submit their most creative, best-tasting Bundt creations. This year, Nordic Ware is continuing the theme from last year’s popular “Holiday” theme. Recipes that celebrate ten popular American holidays will be the focus for bakers across the country. Each recipe entered into the contest will be judged on originality, taste, texture, visual appearance, use of ingredients and an essay describing how the entry represents in it’s own special way, one of America’s popular holidays. Because there is a Bundt pan for every season, bakers will be encouraged to make good use of one of the many seasonal Bundt designs from Nordic Ware. Bakers will be required to capture the essence of the Bundt cake, meaning no elaborate use of frostings. The contest runs from April 1, 2008 to August 1, 2008.
“We were overwhelmed by the level of interest we received from so many talented bakers with our “holiday”Bundt theme last year,” says David Dalquist, president of Nordic Ware. “It was exciting to see the bakers of America have fun submitting such creative recipes for our favorite holidays. And we’re thrilled to continue the tradition for our third ‘Bundts Across America’ contest in 2008.”
“This contest celebrates a dessert baked for generations in virtually every kitchen in America,” continues Dalquist. “It is also a celebration of the bakers that continue to re-invent the Bundt cake with their creative flair.”
Anne Kornow, the 2007 “Bundts Across America” grand prize winner, won $10,000 cash and received a trip to New York to sit in the audience of the Martha Stewart Show, to celebrate National Bundt Day! In addition, she was awarded $500 worth of Nordic Ware products. Anne’s delectable mint chocolate cake was called, “Mint Mountains” and made great use of the Holiday Tree Bundt pan in the Christmas category.
Contest Rules:
Bakers must create recipes for one of the following popular holidays: Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Independence Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Christmas. Nordic Ware staff and a team of experienced culinary experts will carefully evaluate each recipe and pick 10 finalists. There will be one finalist for each holiday.
